Landlord asking for bank info

[Chris Walters]

Hi BP! I need help as to know whether or not it is normal for a landlord to ask a new tenant for their bank info (bank name, branch address, account number). The landlord is willing to accept post dated checks, therefore, i am not sure why the bank info would be required. The landlord also asked for a deposit and pieces of ID.
